"As a result, Intel has continued increasing its investment in Chengdu,
announcing plans last year to add a second phase to our site," he said.
"This includes a leading-edge microprocessor assembly and test facility and a
state-of-the-art training and conference centre. The expansion of our Chengdu
site brings Intel's total investment to US$525 million," he added.
As it boosts its manufacturing capacity in Chengdu, Intel is also working to
contribute to the local economy and has set up formal education and community
service programmes.
"For example, Intel employees have volunteered 6,000 hours in the community.
This included devoting 2,000 hours to help local schools and a training centre
for handicapped people to learn about technology," Otellini said.
Intel has also offered financial support for Sichuan's poor students and
assisted its rural women teachers in their pursuit of further education.
"The Sichuan provincial government conferred the title 'One of Sichuan's Top
10 Beneficent Enterprises' on Intel last year in recognition of its
public-spirited activities," said Gan Daoming, deputy secretary of the Sichuan
Provincial Party Committee, during yesterday's event.
